Community Grants

We can't change the world by ourselves. Partnering with others who share our mission and values is necessary to bring about real and lasting improvements. Dignity Health's Community Grants Program is one way we are working collaboratively to improve health status and quality of life in the communities we serve. The Community Grants Program has awarded more than $64 million to 3,285 community-based health improvement projects since 1991.
